Keep yourself alive was not played on BBC radio one as they deemed the intro was 'too long’. This was the beginning Queen’s singles releases, one which went on to be one of the most successful in History.
Queen has gotten me through some of the hardest times and they are a reason I’m still here today!
So if thought I share some songs that helped me and how I interpret them.
Keep Passing the Open Windows- Choosing to keep going even when things get difficult.
Don’t Try So Hard- Letting go of pressure and to stop trying to control everything at once.
(Take a step back and live)
Don’t Try Suicide- Very sarcastic sounding but ultimately means to not hurt yourself over temporary issues because IT DOES GET BETTER!!
Breakthru- Breaking through emotional times and into freedom.
Spread Your Wings- Leaving behind a limited life into independence even though it’s difficult.
Keep Yourself Alive- Staying mentally and physically strong while reminding you to hold on during rough patches.
These Are the Days of Our Lives- Appreciating life,
even after hard times.
Under Pressure- Realizing you’re not alone when you are stressing, anxious, or emotional.
The Show Must Go On- Pushing forward even when you’re hurting or exhausted. (Don’t give up)
Don’t Stop Me Now- Feeling untouchable and fully alive during a burst of freedom from every and everyone around you.
I know some of these songs are pretty emotional, but the message behind them is a reminder to never give up no matter what and that you matter! I hope this helps someone who needs it!❤️❤️
Lmfao I’m kicking my feet
Obviously I’m not a very good artist but this is my first attempt at drawing Deaky. I’m pretty new to queen and am currently hyperfixating, can I have Deaky lore?
I just saw this video, we can see that we are the champions were filmed properly in the rare live release (It was placed after the part of Live in Frankfurt 1982). Brian May once said there were no footage since someone forgot to press "record" to the tape, maybe it were only some parts of the concert were not filmed properly, but not the others?
I hear the collectors edition has it on cd but I’m not sure if it’s also on vinyl
The attendance to this show is estimated to be around 95,000, even though the field they stood on was covered in heavy mud, this did not deter fans. Later in an interview, Roger described the atmosphere as 'pretty hairy’, reffering to the heavy drinking by fans in the crowd.
At one point during the show, Freddie even pauses to break up a fight that broke out in the crowd. Brian almost refused to go back on stage for the encore after having an empty beer bottle thrown at him during the show
I remember reading here sometime ago about John and Brian not being friends, only co-workers. Is this true? Any real source?
“You may have a sword, darling… but I have TALENT”
while watching the 1979 Wimbledon men’s singles final in 1979 Roger and Freddie came up with the idea for Queen to perform a gig on the centre court
I kept staring at then while at his house, so he just gave them to me!
Which albums or songs?
El Queen 1 lo consegui por 390 pesos mexicanos (aprox 25 USD) y el de Freddie Mercury por 200 pesos mexicanos en el marketplace de facebook ( 15-18 USD aprox)
This show was the first where the Queen line up we know and love played all together. After going through Mike Grose, Barry Mitchell, and Doug Boogie, John Deacon was picked after an audition at Imperial College.
It all began with one show, and as they say, the rest is in the history books. But Queen is not a band that is only the history books like many others. This show begun a legacy that many strived for, but could never achieve. These four young lads defied the norms, and created history.
To Think it all started with a small show in Truro and an audition at Imperial college…
